The only aspect this designer did not account for is that you will be chased by many different kinds of animals (dogs, cats, people, etc.) if you have one of these!
That thing is pretty awesome.
On The Clymb today, a Spot Coyote - a fixie with a Gates carbon belt drive. And it's orange!

I think most of us would agree that its good to be cautiously optimistic about bikes that try to fit in more than one category, but from what I'm reading post-NAHBS, the new 2013 Hopedale from Geekhouse may just fit the bill.

This is exciting for me because I'm looking for a new road bike, but am intrigued by CX options as well.
All of that said, the new Mudville SS Disc Belt Drive CX bike is the hotness:
